E-grāmata: Fashioning Spain: From Mantillas to Rosal a

The great merit of this edited volume is its inclusion of a diverse range of approaches that enrich the subject. It pioneers the study of current Spanish fashion and lays the foundations to move forward. Therefore, Fashioning Spain: From Mantillas to Rosalķa is recommended reading for all scholars of Spanish fashion. * Textile History * Fashioning Spain makes us aware not just of the many things that fashion can tell us about cultural values, from the eighteenth century to the present, but also of the major contribution that Spain has made to fashion design and entrepreneurship. The illustrations tell a story of their own. * Jo Labanyi, New York University, USA * An indispensable collection for Spanish cultural studies. Demonstrating that fashion analysis serves to illuminate intersecting political, economic and social processes, the contributors position twentieth-century fashion as a crucial interface for studies of modern Spanish memory, nation, affect and materiality. * Rebecca Haidt, Ohio State University, USA * The volume offers fascinating insights into the relationship of fashion and cultural identity in modern Spain, exploring the intersections of gender, sexuality, class and nationalism. It constitutes a solid critical contribution to an important, but relatively neglected area of Spanish cultural studies, which will be a fundamental reference for any future studies in this field. * José Colmeiro, University of Auckland, New Zealand *
